Very disappointed. Took three weeks to dry completely and despite following the instructions to the letter, after only two months it’s cracking and lifting up on my patio.

Ordered patio joining compound, now 10 days further down the line and still no reply or any indication of when this will be delivered. Most other companies would at least give some sort of notifi... See more

Terrible experience

Terrible experience, will never use again!
Placed an order on March 10th expecting approx 1 week delivery, nothing ever came. Emailed them on the 23rd chasing and they advised it "would be on site Monday", over two weeks later still no goods, multiple emails without reply, you can't call them as you just get an automated message advising to email or use the non-existant online chat feature.

Total scam, avoid like the plague

********BUYERS BEWARE*********

********BUYERS BEWARE*********
Ordered a few boxes of screws from this company. I've never received my order. After waiting a few weeks and sent multiple emails to which I've never received a reply to any of them. Still no sign of my order. Tried to contact them by phone only to get through to an answer phone stating they are working remotely. I guess this is so nobody can get in contact with them and they can continue taking money and not supply the goods. Looking on trust pilot now, I see a lot of 1 star reviews with people not receiving goods and the company not responding to emails. I will be submitting a report about this company as they should nolonger be allowed to trade.
If you require any of the goods on their website, buy elsewhere as you won't receive your order.
They are simply scammers who don't reply to emails.

No goods delivered and no communication

I placed an order in November and was not advised at the point of ordering and supply issues. I later got an email to say delivery between December and February. I have not as yet (in April) received my goods despite previous assurances and now I do not even get a response to emails with no other method of contact. Seems like a scam to me

Placed an order with this company on…

Placed an order with this company on the 27th February and it still hasn't arrived, despite being given two expected delivery dates.
The delay has caused a real issue with our build schedule, which in turn is having an impact on costs.
Despite email enquires have not be responded to. This is without doubt the worst company I have every dealt with ! I just want what I have paid for over six weeks ago !

Unable to fulfil order with promises it was en route - it never was!

From the service received I do not recommend this company at all. Half of the order arrived, the other half I was told by the delivery guy would be following the next day. Nothing appeared. I contacted them and was told it would be arriving shortly. I got an alert saying something was dispatched, but again nothing ever arrived. After hounding the sales for a refund they eventually returned the money for the undelivered item. I would've expected delivery fee returned too given them not being able to fulfil the order as advertised. From the 5th to 31st March they sat on my money. What ever is happening with this organisation it really is lacking with their online sales which needs urgently addressing.

Very interesting to see that any positive reviews on here are from the "invited" list - I query if any of these are legitimate.

Total lack of communication

I placed an order on 6th February and received an order confirmation. Since then nothing. No delivery and no contact explaining why goods have not been delivered. Credit card payment was taken at time of order. Tried calling and got the covid message. Filled out their contact form and had no response.
Awful service. Will seek a refund via Mastercard

Placed an order 11 working days, still no show.

I place an order on 23rd of Feb but still not received my order.
Tried contact by phone with a answer message ' due to covid' staff are working from home, so please send us a message. Having contacted them via chat, i was advised order will be delivered by 04 March. So sent another message but no response.
Very disappointed service, definitely will not return back and won't recommend to friends.

Great Service

Bought some large structural brackets which I found to be cheapest on line even with P&P. Delivered next day with constant updates on progress and would definitely use again and highly recommend.

Terrible

Terrible, lied about stock, no communication that they were out of stock and had to be repeatedly contacted to find out and get a refund. Wasted a month. Avoid.
